Help with Seller Financing Proposal
Hi everyone,
I was recently contacted by someone who wants to buy one of my duplexes using seller financing. I have never used this before and am curious to see if you think this is a good deal or not.
Here are the details:
-Bought the property in Jan. 2023 for $180k with 25% down
-Rents for $2000 total
-Good long-term tenants
-Cash flows approx. $300 per month since I manage it myself
His Offer:
Principal price: $130k
Down payment: $39k
Interest rate: 5%
Total left owed: $91k
Loan term: 180 months
Principal monthly payment: $505.56
Interest monthly payment: $379.17
Total monthly payment: $884.72
Total paid to seller: $198,250
Is this a good deal for me? Again, I have no experience with seller financing!
